Broken off Zoa.....What to do?

wow thats shocking john. glad to see your ok. thats the most important part. something good has come out of this in regards to the toxic value of zoas. sorry you had to take one for the team. but i wont be handling them without gloves from now on , and will tell my kids about it also. again, glad all is good. now as an unapproved dr, i would prescribe alcohol. lol.

 

Well that is good on both counts actually. The coral is alive and your wife loves you. Ya just can't beat the latter.....

 

I will take that script....and hope it has unlimited refills..lol

 

Yea the latter is good....

 

I think a couple of the polyps got hte glue on it . because they won't open and the top has the white of glue on it... poor thing. Ireally don't want to try and fixit anymore at the present moment,...lol

arty-smi<-----Me hiding from the zoa....

 

that is why I use tongs and just get them in a crevase in a rock and then they attach themselfs

 

Johnnie,

Most palytoxin reactions are nothing but allergic reactions thank God. However, you were wise to take every precaution and get to the doctor. Palytoxin poisoning is typically because people accidentally rub their mucus membranes (eyes, nose, mouth) with hands that had a small amount of palytoxin.

 

I hear that, And I found that out the hard way...scary stuff when you are not sure and you read acute case information... but in the end everything is good... everybody, including the zoa, is safe and sound....

 

Dang, Johnnie Mac - you weren't kidding about having a bad day too! K+ for your rough day!

 

Damn, Bro.. be more cateful..!! So will I, from now on..

I also just stick mine in a crevase .
Glad you are OK..
You may need to buy your Wife a new coral, to make her feel better..!! LOL
AND not a cheap one, show her you are willing to spend Big Bucks to make her happy..

I done that " once ".. Will never try it again..
Later, Larry
